selected simultaneously, no function will operate. If
this occurs, pause, then press only one of the func-
tion switches to activate the function. Refer to the fol-
lowing paragraphs for more information about the
function switches.
4. Controller (Joystick) - The joystick controls three
functions: speed, direction, and powered deck
extension (if equipped). The joystick is used in con-
junction with the trigger switch and controls the
drive, high drive, lift, and powered deck extension
switches to control speed and direction for the
selected function. The drive, high drive and posi-trac
functions may be operated simultaneously, but the
drive, lift, and powered deck extension functions
must be operated independently of each other. If the
drive, lift, and powered deck extension functions are
selected simultaneously, no function will operate. If
this occurs, pause, then press only one of the func-
tion switches to activate the function. To operate the
joystick, squeeze the red trigger switch, then posi-
tion the joystick to forward or reverse, as desired.
5. Steer Switch - The thumb-operated steer switch,
located on top of the joystick, works in conjunction
with the trigger switch and activates the steer wheels
in the direction the switch is moved (left or right).
6. Drive Switch - The drive switch, when used in con-
junction with the joystick, provides for driving the
machine in forward or reverse. Drive is activated by
pressing the drive switch, in conjunction with the
trigger switch, and moving the joystick forward (for-
ward) or backward (reverse). Drive speed is deter-
mined by the distance the joystick is moved forward
or backward. Increased drive speed is possible
when the high drive speed switch is pressed either
simultaneously with the drive switch or while operat-
ing the drive function. The drive switch is part of the
enable circuit, which provides power to the joystick
and the drive function for 3 seconds when the drive
switch is pressed. If the joystick is not activated
within 3 seconds, the drive switch must be pressed
again before activating the joystick. When the joy-
stick is returned to the center off position, the opera-
tor has 3 seconds to re-activate the joystick or select
another function before power is removed by the
enable circuit. In addition, the posi-trac switch can
be engaged while operating the drive function to
give a more evenly distributed oil flow to each drive
